QXCT... and McDonald's Drive Thru, just to name a few!!	Through laughter, through sweat and through tears we have come a long way. We've held our head up high and conquered against all odds. But most importantly we've made bonds, friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. This is us. TOPS 2004.

Awi Barrett	2003	University of Toronto, Toronto	That warm feeling when teachers say something snappy to me (maybe after i started it), but i know they don't mean it :)	gosh, any TOPS comments would cause me to break out into song... or a jig. And a happy jig at that!

Aly Shivji	2000	Cornell University, Ithaca, NY	Mr. Hussey belting out "Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz" @ Pinecrest	The program definitely prepared me well for university. In fact I think Mr. Van Bemmel's students are learning the same material I currently am in grad school.
